—Brian Cornell, Chairman and CEO, Target

"In Conscious, Bob Rosen offers a lifetime of wisdom between two covers. It's far too easy today to go through life with blinders on, focusing only on tasks at hand and priorities of the moment. His insights into human nature, professional relationships, the importance of listening deeply to others, and his belief in the limitlessness of human capabilities are inspiring and memorable. Highly recommended."
—Michael D'Ambrose, Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer, Archer, Daniels, Midland Company

The message deserves to be widely read and followed to produce better leaders at all levels for the 21st century."
—Bill George, professor of management practice, Harvard Business School; former Chair & CEO, Medtronic; bestselling author of Discover Your True North

"Rosen and Swann make a powerful assertion: Conscious is the new smart! They remind us that the foundation for all leadership and performance is the deepening of humanity. 'Conscious' taps into our innate wisdom and aligns our head and heart to achieve transformation in our lives. This book is a must read. It just may spark a movement toward a more balanced and meaningful approach to work and life."
—Kathleen T. Ross, PhD, Chief Administrative Officer, United States Institute for Peace

"In a world of ever-accelerating change, Bob Rosen puts his finger on the key to survival: consciousness — being aware of what's going on around us, so we can take action to adapt. Leaders who read Conscious will be well-equipped to help guide their teams to thrive in the turbulent years to come."
—Mike McGuire, CEO, Grant Thornton LLP

"In this compelling and practical work, Bob Rosen tells us why being CONSCIOUS is so important. Whether you're leading yourself, leading others or leading a company, it's absolutely necessary to learn what it takes to be conscious all the time. The increasing pace of change around us can put our protect and defend mechanisms into overdrive and derail even the best of intentions. Be Conscious to find the light."
—Lisa Mascolo, founder and CEO, Listen, Learn, Lead

De la solapa interior

Our world is changing faster than our ability to adapt. The disruptive forces of speed, uncertainty, complexity, technology, com- petition, and globalization have fundamentally altered the way we live and work. Some of us are changing and adapting with the times, but many are falling behind. The primary culprit is our lack of awareness.

To face the challenge of these unsettling times, we need a new approach to living and leading. Conscious: The Power of Awareness in Business and Life reveals a deeply human approach to personal change and lays out the powerful lessons and skills we need to accelerate change within ourselves and our organizations.

Conscious is our wake-up call—to be aware, agile, and accountable. Nothing is more important than understanding ourselves, our relationships, and our surroundings. Being conscious helps us think deeper, learn faster, and collaborate better. The more conscious we are, the faster we adapt, and the higher performing we become.

As one of the premier global experts on leadership and transformation, Bob Rosen, psychologist and founder of Healthy Companies, and executive coach Emma-Kate Swann, reveal a profound truth about modern- day change: the most successful people, at all levels of society, follow four powerful practices of being conscious: Go Deep helps you discover your inner self. Think Big enables you to see a world of possibilities. Get Real shows you how to be honest and intentional. Step Up empowers you to act boldly and responsibly.

Conscious is your personal roadmap through transformation—to help you adapt and accelerate in this relentlessly changing world. Conscious people bring their best selves to the table, and challenge others to redefine what it means to be successful. Choose to be the one with the headlights on, not the one driving in the dark.
